Springdale, Brampton

Declining speedy for the moment; I might vote for speedy as db-spam if it turns out this is a real estate development tied to one developer. If it's a growing community representing a number of business and a large number of residences, then that's okay. - Dank (push to talk) 13:14, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - Brampton—Springdale and Brampton—Springdale (provincial electoral district) seem to point in the direction that this is a valid article. I won't "vote" yet. Jenuk1985  |  Talk  13:29, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, has been tagged for several weeks as an ad and needing refs, still not got any. Very spam like writing.--Dmol (talk) 21:39, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Not very hard to "neutralise" this article really, just remove a few words. Have removed advert tag. Jenuk1985  |  Talk  21:55, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Have made up my mind. Jenuk1985  |  Talk  21:55, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. I've added a couple of references to the article that show that this is a sizeable community. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:53, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, how big does it have to be? If it had some defining features that make it notable fine but having schools? I grew up in a subdivision near some schools and there are malls near where I live now. When I was a kid, we built some tree forts too. Is inclusion argument motivated by being a municipality or is it just a development? Anything on a map I guess could be notable and maps are sources. Nerdseeksblonde (talk) 11:50, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Certainly needs improvement, but we're not talking about a small real estate development here — it's a neighbourhood large and significant and well-established enough that the city has been served by electoral districts called Brampton—Springdale and Bramalea—Gore—Malton—Springdale. Canadian electoral districts, for what it's worth, are named for the main geographic features of the area they comprise, not for individual housing starts. That said, not every individual neighbourhood in every city necessarily needs its own separate article, especially if that separate article is just an unreferenced or minimally referenced stub, so a merge into Brampton would be valid here — but as a large and prominent neighbourhood rather than an individual subdivision, it's not really a delete. Merge to Brampton, or keep if improved. Bearcat (talk) 00:07, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into Brampton. Springdale isn't notable by itself - in fact the Brampton article already says about as much as can be said about Springdale.  PK  T (alk)  14:25, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Is sourced with reliable sourced. Article does not expansion. Sebwite (talk) 18:44, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The only things sourced here are the name of a particular school in the neighbourhood, which is sourced to an article in the local community weekly that reads much more like a thinly-veiled reprint of the school board's press release than a real news article, and the raw statistic of how much land area the neighbourhood covers — and if that statistic is really the only thing about Springdale that can be sourced to Sewell's book, then the criterion of substantial coverage hasn't been met. And since Sewell's book is primarily about Toronto rather than Brampton, it's highly unlikely that he actually says enough about Springdale in it to meet that standard.
